That last dunk is underrated.
Brewer said he thought he threw the lob too high.
He's one of the most unfairly maligned "decent guy" athletes I have ever seen. He gets so much hate even from so-called Bulls fans. He actually gets a lot of love too I guess. You basically said all that matters about him right now.
Come on. He's had a PER of 13 in 100 games over the last 4 years while taking up over a quarter of the Bulls' payroll. He's been very fairly maligned.
His career Drtg is higher than his Ortg, he chucked 3s at an insane rate all last year despite shooting such an awful percentage, and his inability to go over a pick only exposes Pau's terrible PnR defense at a higher level.
I want the guy to succeed and hope he continues to improve, but his stats this year don't match Kemba Walker, much less the elite point guards in the league. I'm terrified this team is going to give him another max deal that will mire us in mediocrity for perpetuity.
